Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter206-Time Reversal
On the high mountains where the Fallen Angel Clan resided, massive, cold-breathing Fallen Angels, with wings far larger than their bodies, flapped against the wind, surging in the direction of the Azure Kingdom. The chilling aura they emitted caused the sky to darken, as though the once-clear sky had instantly transformed into a cold, eerie night.

Nearby, various spellbeast races sensed the abnormality. They looked up at the suddenly darkened heavens, and upon seeing the sight of the numerous Fallen Angels, they hurriedly restrained their own auras in fear.

“What are they planning with such a large-scale mobilization?”

“It’s one thing for ordinary Fallen Angels to move together, but why is the aura of the Heavenly King mixed in with them? Could it be that the Heavenly King is going to take action too?”

These spellbeasts, most of whom were powerful and intelligent, couldn’t figure out what was going on. They suspected it had something to do with the earlier glowing Holy Token of the Fallen Angels.

Meanwhile, within Middle Earth, following the Gold Dragon King’s order, enormous dragons, as large as mountains, soared into the sky, converging toward the Azure Kingdom, their colossal forms blotting out the sun. As their overwhelming pressure swept across the skies and lands, spellbeasts and humans alike trembled under it, feeling as though these dragons could crush them with a mere thought.

This grand display soon caused a massive uproar across the land. The sight of so many dragons taking to the skies at once was something most had only heard of in legends. After all, the Dragon Clan, with its noble and ancient bloodline, had always stood at the pinnacle of all life.

Though their numbers had dwindled, and they had maintained a low profile for centuries, their presence was still a heavy, invisible weight on everyone’s minds. Every movement of the Dragon Clan caught the attention of the great powers, and now, with such a large mobilization, everyone wondered what had happened to shake the dragons into action.

In the Demon Realm, following the resonance of the Dragon Clan’s Holy Token, the bone dragons, with their skeletal wings, locked onto the coordinates of the Holy Token and began flying toward the Azure Kingdom. Their movements caused tremors throughout the vast Demon Realm, as this was the first large-scale mobilization of the bone dragons in thousands of years.

…

At the ducal mansion, led by Diana and Edward, the people from Middle Earth hurried to the mansion. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on them as they noticed how suddenly busy the mansion had become. They had all seen the two Holy Token lights rising into the sky earlier, and they knew the source of the light was the ducal mansion.

As they entered and saw Owen, their attention was immediately drawn to his arms, which were surrounded by special runes.

“Mr. Owen, I knew you were the one who shattered the Holy Tokens!” Edward said, his heart full of shock.

Even though he had previously suspected that Owen was behind this, having it confirmed now left him even more astonished.

As a historian of Academy City, Edward recognized the command embedded in the two Holy Tokens—an attack on the Pyrothrone Kingdom of Middle Earth. It was absolute madness!

“Sis… Mr. Owen, I have to say, you’re really bold. That’s the Pyrothrone Kingdom of Middle Earth! You said you’d attack them, and now you really are going to attack them?” Diana exclaimed, her eyes shining as she looked at Owen.

After their previous expedition to the Mausoleum, she knew Owen was fearless, defying even the gods’ might and attacks.

However, the Pyrothrone Kingdom was vastly more terrifying than Kyrik.

Compared to the Founder King of Kyrik, the Pyrothrone Kingdom was far more formidable.

Even after each major upheaval in Middle Earth, the Pyrothrone Kingdom had remained unshaken, a testament to its deep and immeasurable power.

Now, someone from a remote continent like Owen was actually attempting to wipe out a force that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

Diana felt both awe and admiration.

Owen truly lived up to being her idol—he was willing to risk everything for the woman he loved!

The other Middle Earth elites, like Henry, wore strange expressions as they stared at Owen, unsure of what to say.

That was the Pyrothrone Kingdom! An empire that had existed for countless millennia! And yet, Owen was acting as if attacking it was no big deal.

It was sheer madness!

They saw no hope in this endeavor.

If anyone other than Owen had made such a move, they would have thought that person had gone mad.

Still, they recognized that Owen’s attack on the Pyrothrone Kingdom might give them an opportunity to return to Middle Earth, which wasn’t too bad for them.

Otherwise, staying by Owen’s side, who knew what other crazy things he would do next?

Owen, however, paid no mind to the thoughts of these Middle Earth prodigies. He glanced at Diana and said:

“The Dragon Clan and the Fallen Angel Clan still need some time to get here. In the meantime, I have some matters to attend to. Help me watch over these people.”

Among the group, Owen trusted Diana the most, and her strength was also sufficient to keep everyone in check.

Diana and Edward understood Owen’s intent. Before coming here, they had received an order to search for Madelyn’s whereabouts.

As Leslie’s sister, Madelyn had been living in the ducal mansion, but she had suddenly disappeared not long ago.

Initially, everyone thought Madelyn had just hidden somewhere or temporarily left the mansion, so they hadn’t paid much attention.

But after Taylor had been driven away by Leslie and Owen had stabilized the situation at the mansion, Madelyn was nowhere to be found.

Duke Charles and the others felt a small sense of relief when Owen brought up the matter, believing that with his growing power, he would surely find Madelyn.

Duke Charles was well aware that Madelyn wasn’t his biological daughter, and technically, Owen wasn’t his son-in-law.

But with Madelyn’s mysterious disappearance, if Owen didn’t help, he didn’t know what else to do.

Given Owen’s now unfathomable strength, Duke Charles believed Owen could certainly find her.

He also understood that with Owen and Leslie growing ever more powerful, the small Azure Kingdom could no longer contain them.

To Owen and Leslie, the ducal mansion—though a giant to ordinary mages—might soon become nothing more than a memory.

Fortunately, Duke Charles had always shown goodwill toward Owen and Leslie from the beginning.

Under Duke Charles’ complicated gaze, Owen’s mind power suddenly expanded, instantly covering every inch of the ducal mansion.

Even the secret chambers deep underground could not escape his detection.

Yet, after this thorough search, there was no sign of Madelyn.

Where could she have gone?

Seeing Owen’s mind power dissipate as quickly as it had spread, Duke Charles, Diana, and Edward noticed the deepening frown on his face and realized that even Owen hadn’t found Madelyn.

“This is truly strange. Madelyn was clearly in the mansion’s courtyard just before,” Duke Charles thought, his heart sinking.

The other members of the mansion were equally anxious, their eyes red from worry.

Madelyn had always been kind to them, and they didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.

Owen held a favorable impression of Madelyn, who had once helped him keep the Kingdom Vault a secret and even devised plans for him and Leslie’s future.

She had treated them as family.

“If she was in the courtyard earlier, then her disappearance must have left some trace. Let’s see what really happened…” Owen muttered, mana beginning to circulate around him.

Diana was momentarily stunned. “What happened before has already passed—how could you possibly see it?”

“By reversing time, of course,” Owen replied calmly.

Time reversal?!

Diana stared at Owen in utter disbelief. She had heard of this ability, knowing it was a tremendously powerful investigative spell.

But it involved the mysterious Order of Time and Space, something even their headmaster struggled to perform.

How could Owen, a newly ascended master-tier mage, possibly pull it off?!
